“A Telescope Laser Creates an Artificial Star” is copyrighted by Adam Contos (Ball Aerospace). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAstronomers use powerful lasers to create artificial stars in the atmosphere. This technique is employed when a bright natural star is not available in the desired direction for atmospheric monitoring. By observing the fluctuations of these laser-generated stars, astronomers can gauge how Earth's atmosphere changes.
